Preto Velho

An old Black man sheds a tear when asked by a reporter what it's like to be old, to be poor and to be black.

"Aquele preto, tão preto

Com aquela barba branca, tão preta..

E aquele olhar tão meigo de quem espera ganhar

um sorriso incolor.."

Secos e Molhados

"A fellow cynic once reminded me that in order to believe in the American Dream you had to be asleep."
